The SAN Router sends SNMP traps (alerts or alarms) to designated
IP addresses (workstations) where the alerts or alarms can be viewed.
In order to receive SNMP alerts, the SAN Router must be configured

and Configuration Manual for information on configuring SNMP traps.
The SNMP traps are configured to be routed to specific workstations

utility called the TrapViewer that is shipped with SANvergence
Manager you can use to view the SNMP alerts or alarms.
